THE KANSAS SCHOOL SYSTEM.
The committee appointed by the State
Teachers ASSOCIATION, consisting Of John
Mcdonald, j. 81. Garfield, q. D. McCarty
ana W. H Sweet, to investigate the
school system of Kansas, have made a
lengthy and full report.
Their investigation shows that out of
nearly 5000 school officers in Kansas only
about one sixth, or 300, discharge prop
erly the duties allotted them.
The report makes recommendations also
concerning school districts, and the trust
ees OF townships aud cities.
The committee further recommend that
no person shall be eligible to the Office of
county superintendent who does not pos
seSs diploma from college or univer-
sity legally empowered to grant literary
Issued according to law by the authorities
OF q state normal school, or a certificate
from the state board of education, or first
grade certificate from Q county or city ex-
aiming board; nOr shall he be eligible
unless he has q SOUND moral character,
and has had successful experience In
teaching within three years of the time of
his first election.
They ask also, In each county, that the
tax levied by the county board be sufic-
lent to secure to each district in the county
ak months school each year; and that
the Ons-mIll state tax be restored.
Out of the school officers only about
1900 intslligently parform their duties,
and /, 800 are virtually illiterate.
The report devotes considerable atten-
ton to the system of taxation, and recon.
mends to the Legislature as follows:
Your committe, therefore. recommend
that all laws in relation to our independ-
ent school district system be repealed.
In dividing the state for school purpos-
